Cooking Classes, Wellness Retreats and Foraging: 10 of the Best Holidays in the UK for Vegetarians and Vegans
Mayu Retreats, Norfolk
Luxury and vegetarian are two words you rarely relish in the same sentence. This is why Mayu is something of a rarity: beautifully presented, delicious meatless menus in a sumptuous setting. Mayu's philosophy is rooted in nutrition, increasing your intake of as many different plant-based ingredients as possible - expect at least 30 in a two-day stay. Husband and wife team Pamela and Kieron offer expert nutritional advice along with delicious cuisine. Their next retreat (September 3-6) will be at Great Barn Farm, a luxury barn with swimming pool, steam room and jacuzzi, as well as daily yoga and Pilates, and nature trails in the heart of the Norfolk countryside. From £550 for three nights, including accommodation, meals, drinks and activities; mayuretreats.co.uk
